    Is the 20 watt super uv coil lamp good for my 8month old iguana?he has not been living with any kind of uvb but I just found out I needed one.I dont know if its the best one to get because the uvb may be filtered by the screen on my cage.

    the 20 watt super uvb coil....Crap... dont buy it i bought it and i used it for 2 days till my beardie started fliping out cause it wasnt sufficent... just buy the repti sun 10.0 uvb buy it from reptilesupply.com thats the best flouresent light but what im useing now is superUV power.... from retileuv.com its just a high powered uvb light emits not UVA and it cost $50 with shipping, im using it with my rhinoceros iguana and he has brighten up considerbly , and allot more active and eats allot more.... i'd gp with that inmstead of the flouresent bulb....

    I too get my lighting from http://reptileuv.com, very high quality stuff at decent prices. I'm using the SB series right now for my box turtles and red-foot tortoise, as my iguana won't be joining me until mid August this year.

    We tried the same bulb. They're supposed to last for a year or something...ours blew in 3 months. Waste of money.

    The Coil or the SB Series for reptileuv? Because I've never had a problem with the reptileuv lighting.
